Chauncey Addison Day, better known as Chon Day, (April 6, 1907 – 2000) was an American cartoonist whose cartoons appeared in ''The New Yorker'' and other magazines. Born in Chatham, New Jersey, Day attended Lehigh University in 1926, where he drew for the college's humor magazine, ''The Burr''. After one year, he left and later enrolled in 1929 at New York City's Art Students League, where he studied under Boardman Robinson, George Bridgman and John Sloan. That same year his cartoons were first published in national magazines. ==''Brother Sebastian''== His cartoon series ''Brother Sebastian'' began in 1954 in the magazine ''Look'', where it ran for years. These cartoons were collected in several Doubleday books, ''Brother Sebastian'', ''Brother Sebastian Carries On'' and ''Brother Sebastian at Large'' (1961), reprinted in paperback by Pocket Books. Day described his character in the introduction to ''Brother Sebastian at Large'': :It is a pleasure to bring you a new book of our gentle, imperturbable monk, Brother Sebastian. Now seven years old, he still retains the qualities with which he was born—his hearty appetite for fun (and his large waistline); his love for children, dogs, and underdogs; his tendency to be the "quiet type"; his good-humored but faithful dedication. His glasses are for neither nearsightedness nor farsightedness but are precisely fitted for impish antics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chon Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
